Labrum Tear
Labrum Tear
Experiencing deep shoulder pain, clicking, or instability when reaching or lifting? You might be dealing with a labrum tear, a common injury affecting the cartilage in your shoulder joint. At Theracave, we offer personalized physical therapy to help patients recover from labrum tears—reducing pain, improving joint stability, and restoring shoulder function without relying solely on surgery.
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint, helping keep the ball of the shoulder bone in place. When torn, it can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. Early diagnosis and targeted rehab are key to long-term recovery and avoiding further damage.

Q&A
What is a labrum tear in the shoulder?
A labrum tear is an injury to the cartilage ring that stabilizes the shoulder socket. This cartilage helps keep the ball of the upper arm bone securely in the joint, and when it tears, it can cause pain, instability, and restricted movement.
Can a labrum tear heal without surgery?
Yes, many mild to moderate labrum tears can be managed with physical therapy. Rehab focuses on strengthening surrounding muscles, improving joint stability, and reducing pain—allowing the shoulder to function effectively without surgical repair in some cases.
What does a labrum tear feel like?
People often describe it as a deep ache in the shoulder, sometimes with a clicking or catching sensation during movement. It may also feel unstable or weak, especially with overhead or rotational motions.
How long does recovery from a labrum tear take?
With consistent physical therapy, recovery typically takes 8–12 weeks for non-surgical cases. Post-surgical recovery may take longer, often 4–6 months, depending on the severity and type of tear.
